Jane Austen’s Mafia!

Mob boss Vincenzo Cortino (Lloyd Bridges) has two sons, the psychopathic Joey (Billy Burke) and the enterprising Anthony (Jay Mohr), and they are both drawn into the family business… Jim Abrahams returns with another zany comedy in the vein of his Hot Shots! flicks and Bridges, in one of his last roles, does the same senile type of character. Borrowing the flashback narrative from The Godfather, Part II (1974), the movie also targets Casino in particular, but the jokes are poor and the cast struggles.
